Koisome Momiji

A girl asks Katsuragi Shouta to take a picture of her with Enoshima in the background. Embarassed by her cuteness, he takes the picture and runs away. He later finds out that she is an actress by the name of Shinomiya Sana. A TV drama, Koisome Momiji, will be shot in Shouta's town and Sana will be starring in one of the lead roles, as a passionate girl who whole-heartedly chases after the guy she loves. However, Sana has never experienced that kind of love. To practice for this role (and maybe truly fall in love) Sana asks Shouta to be her boyfriend!

The serialization was great, but I prefer the oneshot. The oneshot was more believable, and didn't have some of the normal tropes that editors often make mangakas throw in. (fanservice, rival women, etc.)

avoid this piece of s**t, the main character is a spineless dirtbag who, despite loving the main girl, couldn't have the balls to turn away the other girls and got into stupid situations because of it. 0.000001 out 5

I suck at putting into words how I feel about things so I will probably sound like a picky asshole, but here we go.

In summary: Don't read this manga if you don't like cliched everything and best girl is just a supporting character.

I probably expected too much by taking some of the comments into consideration, but boy was I disappointed with this manga. It had a good start, looked like it could go places, but ended up falling into the pit of bland, cliched situations; the manga was almost ending and I was asking myself when things would become interesting.

I thought Shouta would be a likeable protagonist with his shyness at the first chapters but he soon became another uninteresting harem lead.

If I had to say anything good about him is that he kept Sana as his love interest from start to end.

The misunderstandings that make most of the story are really silly and all the cockblocking that happens is so frequent and annoying to the point that when the romance hit its climax I didn't really feel anything about the scenes, and I am a sucker for couples making out.

The below is about the girls and might have some indication of how the story goes

Can’t really say I liked the female leads either. At first I was rooting for Sana but soon stopped caring because both the romance had gotten less interesting and that it didn’t look like neither Yui nor Kotorit had any chance at all at being the chosen girl.

I only memorized Yui’s name because it was easy and heck, I had to look up Kotori‘s name because I had already forgotten it. I didn’t feel attached at all to the characters except Umine because I am biased she plays perfectly the role of supporting character and friend. Umine helped Shouta during the whole damn story, she always encouraged Shouta and gave him advices, both the ponytail and hair on the shoulders look extremely gourgeous on her and her bust is perfectly fine as it is. Shit, she deserved more than what this manga gave to her (I am looking at you, glasses).

Well, that’s more or less it. I didn’t really enjoy this ride and like I said at the start it’s completely my fault for expecting too much. There’s nothing much good I have to say about this manga except that I liked that Yui’s poses are present since her introduction in the story until the end and that Umine is best girl.

Rechecked the first few pages just to make sure if it's worth reading..

The heck is this 4th volume cover, it gave me a weird missunderstanding. I thought the drawing would be as weird as the cover (no offense, personal opinion only), but heck, this is our ordinary drawing all'rite! Will download this asap!
